Who needs a microwave?

Me. There was a pot and a lid and more than 90 seconds in your example.

Just in terms of the fuss of hot cereal mine has been a total win after a decade without, almost.

I saw my first Resident Evil 5 trailer with Johann in it. Do I do what I told him and see it in theatres? I dunno...

I have lived without a microwave for about 10 years. Beau does not like them at all. I now have a microwave. We have not used it since we moved in. I don't even know if it works.

Who needs a microwave?

Me, too. I sautee onions in it, and reheat oatmeal, and melt butter for baking, and heat up my leftovers. I was at my brother's house in Chicago this weekend, and they have neither a microwave nor a toaster. (Nor an electric kettle.) But they rarely eat at home, either.

Why does he not like them? I mean, I did not needing one, or thinking they don't have sufficient purpose to exist, but not liking?

I love our nuker. I'm not sure the oven on our stove has ever been used.

ita,

I think he is just suspicious of it. And he thinks it changes the taste of food.

This. The three weeks I lived without one, I was frustrated nearly every morning because I wanted easy oatmeal. Or to quickly reheat leftovers.

We barely use our microwave. At our last place, we didn't even own one and we lived there for about 8 years.

Yeah, basically I find I don't need it. I don't eat oatmeal, but find pretty much everything easy enough to do without one.

I wasn't using my microwave for awhile but when I my depression started creeping back in I started using it again. Lately I've been mostly eating steam packs of frozen veggies or veggie mixes, frozen chicken or meatballs and frozen rice. Occasionally I've gone all crazy and sliced up sausage and heated in the pan or roasted whole ears of corn in the oven.

If I wasn't doing this I'd be eating out every meal.
